What Our Clients Say

Marc (August 2013, 5 stars)

I’ve been seeing Ellen since 2009 and the experience has been incredibly valuable. I first came to her because I had a lot of doubts about a relationship in. She helped me through a big break up and the rebound afterwards. We even maintained our sessions for a number of years afterwards. Because of her I’m much more in tune with my emotions and needs. I highly recommend her services for anyway with relationship and intimacy difficulties

Danielle (June 2013, 5 stars)

“I highly recommend Ellen Starr as a counselling. With her warm, professional and empathetic guidance I was able to work through issues of family trauma, connecting to others and self doubt. Together we discussed how my issues were impacting my relationships and my ability to trust. I felt that Ellen understood my pain and my frustration. She helped me foster self love, appreciation and acceptance of the issues that were holding me back. With her help I am now able to foster healthy, trustworthy and mutually satisfying relationships – And, I am better connected to my partner and to myself!”

Debbie (May 2012 , 5 stars)

“I chose Ellen as my counselling several years ago. It is not an exaggeration to say, she saved my life. Her warmth and insights helped me come to terms with issues from my past, learn more a about myself, make better decisions, and be happy.”

Alex, 32 (January 2012, 5 stars)

“I came to Ellen through the Canadian Men’s Clinic where Dr Weisbrod recommended her. I called her up and made an appointment, which at that point in time felt very courageous for me. Ellen is a very well educated and professional counselling but she also brings herself and her personality and background in, maybe because she is in the field for ages. It certainly helped me that she does this. Ellen is a very good listener and gives a tremendous amount of acknowledgement and warmth. I cannot go into details here, but I would like to state that calling Ellen Starr was the right step to do for me at that point in my life.”
